Sounds like a genuine bug to me.

Two options here:

1. force the edited patch to be 'unpatched' before dpep invocation
  -> a less pleasant experience to those who are used to the current behavior,
     but it's broken anyway?
2. store the original patch in debian/patched/ and use that for unpatching 
  -> this will be an incompatible change which may break more.
